The outdoor wind comfort is important for evaluations of the urban environment. existing criteria are based on correlations between parameters, human activity levels, and level categories. These vary among different climates regions, they influenced by meteorological parameters adaptation. In this study, an questionnaire survey was conducted measurements were collected in Xi’an, which located c...

Vegetation provides significant benefits for urban thermal environments attracting people to open spaces. Especially in tropical climates, squares are more vulnerable discomfort due surrounding buildings and increased hard surface coverage compared parks. Since the space planting is limited, a proper arrangement essential enhance outdoor comfort (OTC). Nevertheless, impact of different arrangem...

The assessment of outdoor comfort can provide valuable insights into the quality urban public spaces. Rational indices based on heat-balance model have been extensively used for assessing thermal in various environments a long time. However, growing body literature is arguing theoretical limitations rational indices, including lack contextual considerations and non-consideration active role hum...

Abstract—This paper presents an adaptive thermal comfort model study in the tropical country of Malaysia. A number of researchers have been interested in applying the adaptive thermal comfort model to different climates throughout the world, but so far no study has been performed in Malaysia. For the use as a thermal comfort model, which better applies to hot and humid climates, the adaptive th...

The choice of the appropriate material for the construction of ski-boot liners is of fundamental importance in order to achieve ergonomic comfort and high thermal insulation. In this work the effect on thermal comfort of different materials used for commercial ski-boot liners has been analysed. The thermal insulation and the moisture management of liners made of different materials have been te...

The level of satisfaction with an environment differs among individuals, which may be caused by social, psychological and physical factors. One of the environmental factors affecting physical and mental satisfaction, is the thermal condition of space. In recent years, the importance of thermal comfort has been accentuated due to the climate change and global warming, increasing the number of st...
